Hey guys So I seem to have a problem with Ona :( She starts fine, idles fine, drives fine ( well up until 40 mph) So when traveling 40 mph or 50mph she starts stuttering (but doesn't cut out) if you put your foot down more whilst the problem is happening nothing happens. If you take your foot off th...

Oops sorry guys Oil drained Rocker off Compressed air down the oil passage way Head off ( new head gasket fitted) Compressed air down the block Sump off Cleaned sump and checked oil pickup Checked for play in the shells (no play) Fitted oil pressure gauge Back together again Oil pressure is where it...

Just so you don't spend the rest of your week worrying about poor Ona. I drove her to work today 13 miles each way she is running alot quieter, no knocking and also looks as If oil is still on the rockers after filling yesterday and driving a little bit to and no fully smells. Will update you all at...

Hey panky Yeah I have found two on ebay and may have to get one if it comes to it but will have to get studs and gaskets etc still. When I fitted the engine I did a quick strip down and whilst doing the engine work I put an air line through the channel but all torqued down now so will see what happe...

The sender is at the top of the tank and can be removed with tank in place and fuel in tank if possible I would remove the wooden boot floor just to make life easier. If you turn ignition on and it's always going to the same position and has been sat for a while it does sound a bit like a stuck send...

Hey guys Thought I'd better update you all, Ona is having some major issues :( she has no oil getting to the top of the engine I have put an air line through the oil passage ways, sump off and cleaned oil pickup was clean and as my headgasket had gone not long before I started the work I replaced th...

Alright guys so been a little quiet for a while but things have been happening. she now has a good second hand side in need of a new rear post but will make a great improvement to her messy and wavey side. I have also just bought a very nice interior for her that a friend will be holding onto until ...

Well done she looks great now you can have many fun miles in her maybe a next restoration is on the list....? ;)

Excellent, how did the engine perform. She ran great cruised at 55 / 60 just wish the hills wouldn't kill her speed so much :( I have got some new rear doors for her to ready for the summer as the drivers side is past repairing and decided I will be replacing the whole passenger side due to it bein...

Took Ona to Austin Morris day Sunday. Covered 120 miles and she didn't play up once she stood out a bit at the show but looked right at home between her friends :) My oil preassure light and fuel gauge is finally working as they should thankfully :D the sender was stuck in one position so now readin...

Hey so just thought I'd say I havnt been able to sort my oil light out yet but I've renewed my gearbox oil. I'm glad I have as it was very low (possibly from the tow home) But also found this in the sump plug Ill be searching diagrams etc to see if I can figure where it came from [frame] http://mmoc...

In theory, if you car is negative earth then, touching the probe set to positive to the switch should cause the device LED to light with the engine off. Once the engine is started the LED should go out. That is because the switch is NC (normally closed) to earth allowing the current to pass. Once t...

I've not seen one of those before, does it have batteries in it? Do you do the tests with the car battery disconnected? You connect it to the battery on the car when put the probe on somewhere it tells you if you have current you then can choose weather you want to out negative or positive current ...

This is the tool, you can choose weather to put positive or negative current through it The car is negative earth hense why I have a feeling the light doesn't come on Is there something that has been missed out then on the negative earth conversion which is stopping the light coming on?[frame] http:...

Hey guys So thought I'd see what you guys think :) I have a tool that when connected to the battery let's me choose what polarity I want to go through the circuit. I did this on the oil pressure light. I disconnected the connector from the oil switch and I put a negative current through the wire and...

Ah great thank you I thought there was a way to it ;)

Is the wire connected to the pressure switch by the dizzy or the one on the oil filter? It is connected to the pressure switch by the dizzy. Just a thought is there a way to test the light without the switch as in connect a AA battery to the connection and to earth? Or something similar to test the...

Haha yeah I think it was just rubbish on the manifold or in the clamp that was burning off I just started it up again to show my mum's boyfriend and no longer smoking. I did take the speedo out to look at the bulb and the base was in the holder but no glass or anything replaced the bulb but still go...

Hey everyone I have a really exciting update for everyone ;) new engine has been connected up with a new alternator conversion etc. With help from a friend and 2 weekends of work. SHE'S ALIVE!!!!!! My only issues now is 1. Oil pressure light does not work. Seems to be a fault in the loom or with the...
